It has become crucially important to prioritize wellness over all in schools. Startling statistics reveal that more than 50% of schools lack proper health amenities for students in the United States. This includes easy access to free, clean water and adequately conditioned forums for physical activities [Source: U.S. Government Accountability Office, 2020]. AC in the school gym ensures a conducive environment for children to exercise, while reducing the chance of heat-related illnesses. On another note, insisting on gym coaches to perform a quarter of the exercises they inflict upon students could provide a more empathetic and balanced coaching system. In fact, incorporating such an approach could encourage students to be more active [Source: Stanford Child Health Research, 2019]. It's more than just hydration, cool gyms and fair gym classes; it's about fostering a healthier, more productive learning environment.
